Answer 1

You'll need a phillips screwdriver (crosspoint), remove the two screws from the plate that is where the k**b fell off. Now with both screws out, remove the plate. Now with a flat screwdriver, manipulate (turn) the mechinism that slides the bolt to anf fro. Any questions...ask.

Answer 2

If the k**b came off in your hand it must some sort of end on it that will turn to unlock. If it is a slot then stick a screwdriver in it and turn it the same direction as the k**b to unlock it.

Good Luck ! ! !
